Quick as a Cricket by Audrey Wood

A young boy describes himself as "loud as a lion," "quiet as a clam," "tough as a rhino," and "gentle as a lamb." Whether brave or shy, strong or weak, in the end the young boy celebrates all different, apparently contradictory parts of himself - "Put it all together and you've got me!"
